### 5/5 — Только нужное

*2026-06-09*

Отличная скорочиталка « по словам »

**Developer response:** I don't think you can sadly ((( 
I can give you a promo code if you message me via email niklas.baudy@vanniktech.de and we find a way that you can pay me

### 3/5 — App is locking multiple feature

*2026-01-23*

When you pay 1.99 you only remove adds , then when you check for history it ask’s another 1.99$ or pay 11.99$ for all features and it does not discount earlier paid 1.99$

**Developer response:** Hey I can understand your frustration! In all the dialogs the Premium option is listed. Also in the settings it sits right underneath and when you click it, it also says that it does remove the ads. Unfortunately, I can't issue you a refund. Apple won't allow me to do that. On Android I can do that. Maybe you can contact them and ask for a refund for the remove ads? In any case, if you want to write me this is my email: niklas.baudy@vanniktech.de

### 5/5 — Great app

*2025-09-13*

Love the app. The lines, red letter and that little line that focuses on that letter is awesome.
I only have one suggestion, having a clear button for copy/pasted text would be awesome as most of the time touching and trying to get the select all menu to pop up to highlight long text does not work. If there is a clear all button, i can’t find it.

**Developer response:** Thanks! :-)
Edit: Will think of a solution for clearing the text!

### 5/5 — Great app

*2024-12-28*

Love the app. The lines, red letter and that little line that focuses on that letter. Awesome the time left in book doesn’t move, getting in the way of the lines focus.

**Developer response:** Thanks! :-)
